Churchill Livingstone's dictionary of nursing - Christine Brooker

A new approach to nursing reference...

The scope of nurse education and clinical practice has expanded considerably in recent years, requiring both students and practitioners to understand a wide range of issues in depth. The new edition of this established dictionary has been expanded and redesigned to provide a uniquely nursing-focused reference source far more suited to your needs than existing pocket nursing dictionaries, which are often restricted to little more than medical terminology.

Now in an accessible 2-colour format, the increased size allows for broader in-depth coverage of the terminology and concepts needed for effective, holistic practice in today's multidisciplinary healthcare environment, including:

Adult nursing

Cancer nursing and oncology

Child health

Complementary therapies

Critical care

Information technology.

Learning disabilities

Management and policy issues

Medico-legal and ethics

Mental health

Nutrition

Pharmacology

Public health

Research

Social and behavioural sciences

Terminology from physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and radiology.
